I am one of those moms who try to balance the physical activities and screen time. But trust me sometimes, engaging them in watching movie is the lender of last resort for me especially. When they drive me crazy with their demands and I have to meet the deadlines. There are many movies that they like, but one movie that my kids love the most is the Rio 2 and trust me they never get tired of watching it.
When ever kids get so connected with movie characters while watching a movie again and again, it is very important for parents to review the message that particular character or the movie conveys. As it leaves a huge impact on the kids’ growing minds. My kids love Rio 2 due to its colorful aesthetics and great graphics. But apart from visually appealing aspects, I find it a safe movie even if they watch it almost every week because its coveys some great ideas.
Let me share a few concepts that I teach my kids which are beautifully portrayed by Rio 2 as well
Be real
Each of my child has his/her own personality and I always teach them to explore their own interests and be themselves. This message has been wonderfully conveyed in Rio when its character Blue. He tries to fit into his wife’s tribe by changing himself. He tries plying in the mud, or trying to ride on a crocodile, but end up being disappointed. Here, the movie has shared how important it is to be yourself to stay happy. I believe it’s a great life lesson for kids even shown in Rio 2 trailer.
Don’t be jealous and cherish what you have
Though Blu is the most loved character in the movie, but the story has shown how Blue felt jealous of Roberts. Who was his Wife’s childhood friends and how that jealously made Blu feel insecure about himself.
Always try to discover your true potential
There was a character Gabi (a frog) who believed that she was poisonous because everybody told her so. She got shocked when she discovers that she isn’t poisonous at all. Here, the movie has shared how important it is to explore ourselves and why its harmful to blindly believe others’ opinions.
This is my take on the movie itself and Rio 2 trailer, but its not only about this particular movie, what I am trying to share is that you must notice whatever your children watch or even read. Make sure it has a good message to convey as kids in their growing years have very keen observation and they learn very quickly. So, make sure you are exposing them to meaningful and productive ideas.
